Nobody will be tabbing in the office work except kids with no experience and with less responsibilities than serious seasoned professionsl.

30 years in IT, most of which as a developer, but I guess I'm a kid with no experience.

Seriously, you know what's great about modern computers? We have thirty different ways to accomplish a task. My workflow is different than your workflow. You may like dozens of windows cluttering up your screen, but I like my environment a little more organized than that. I may have three or four Safari windows open, but each of them usually have a half-dozen tabs. Same with Finder windows. When working with images I primarily use GIMP which itself allows you to have multiple windows open, or a single window with each open image docked to a tab. For me it's much easier to find the image I want to work with by scanning those tabs than by having twelve different windows to flip through.

You prefer a more traditional view? That's just fine - it works for you. Be thankful we have options and can set up our workflow the way that works for each of us, but don't pretend that others' preferences are wrong.

Save that for politics

I've been able to run Macs for work because of the ability to virtualize Windows. Not sure this bodes well for the future of Macs in certain business segments unless emulation performance under these new chips will be acceptable.

Would usb-c capable mini & air be considerations ?

Not a chance. 

Oh, how I wish. My daily driver is a mid-2011 Mac Mini which always has at least one VM running and desperately wants to grow up and be a quad-core. I really don't need an iMac, but I guess that's what I'll be buying in the next couple of weeks (unless Apple surprises me today, which I seriously doubt).

I wish we could pin-protect profiles so that I wouldn't need to enter my PIN for each movie I watch on my phone, yet require a PIN code to unlock the adult profile on our AppleTVs so the kids won't be able to watch inappropriate content (and to force them to use their own profiles on the AppleTV so my recommendations don't get cluttered with their stuff)

My experience mirrors that of this survey, although like K2kw says, they really should break it down by how old those existing phones are. I held on to my 5S for three years before buying the 7. I held on to my 4 for three years before that. My 7 is an extremely capable phone, and my fingerprint works just fine. The X has a gorgeous screen that I drool over, but I just can't pay $1150 right now to get a gorgeous screen.

If carriers still subsidized I might upgrade every two years, but now that we're stuck with the full cost of the phone, it's just too difficult to justify the expense. I even keep my computers longer than most - My MacBook Pro is an early 2011 and probably won't be upgraded until next year. My Mac Mini is mid-2011 and is finally being replaced in the next month or two with an iMac, and that's only because I need a quad-core for running multiple VMs.
